Steam Web API library in Ruby. Retrieves data from API server and parses it(JSON only). If you want more information about the API go to:
Open up your terminal or cmd or whatever and copypasta this code
gem install steamwebapi
To use it in your application, add the following to your Gemfile:
gem 'steamwebapi', '~> 1.0.1'
Retrieve a user's friend list:
# retrieve friend list of user with SteamID64 being 76561197960435530
SteamUser.key('XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX').friend_list('76561197960435530')
# some functions require an api key(IPlayerService, ISteamUser, and some ISteamUserStats)
Retrieve news for a Steam app:
# retrieve news for Steam app
SteamApp.get_news('440', '1', '1')
# this will retrieve 1 article of app 440 with the content's length being 1("A...")
You can also use the SteamAPI module's get function
# return news for a Steam app - this does the same thing as the example above, its just messier(IMO)
SteamAPI.get('ISteamNews', 'GetNewsForApp', 'v0002', args = {appid: '440', count: '1', maxlength: '1'})
